Vivi's Sf4 Arcade Sticks - [February stick *FINISHED*]

[ February stick 2010 ]

Been working on my Ken stick. The base color is orange and the buttons will be orange / yellow / white.

The faceplate design is still a work in progress but its def getting closer to its final look.

[ January stick 2010 ]

I've been working on customizing my old arcade stick! A while back i thought it was super broken but it turned out it just needed a button swap for some fresh Sanwa parts. I ordered the parts and gave it a fresh paint job along with my own design (character artwork no mine). This process was ALOT~ of fun and I'm already working on a second stick (working on buying a 3rd one on ebay now also XD!)

So! here is the final product!

awesome - kind-of-not-game-related-art you've got there. would like to see if you can push it further and develop another case (though I don't know anything about these nostalgic-controlers how they play and stuff).

it is game art ? those are the characters i use in street fighter ! unless you are referring to the big sun in the background.... ! I am also working on a second case right now! will be painting it tonight

Thanks guys! Yeah second pad is underway right now. I screwed up on the paint job so i might have to sand it down and redo it XD.

Quote from Nysuatro

I would buy a mapcore version.

a rough estimate but it would be around $200 us dollars not sure if that includes shipping. it depends on where you live

Edit: let me know if your serious though cause I just bought another stick online that I will be modding after my 2nd stick is finished.

Nysuatro - yeah man just let me know! a mapcore version might not take that long depending on what you want and stuff of course.

I really need to sort my sticks out, I've got about 4 of them now (and the SF4 one is massive).I just want to throw them all out and get a small multiplatform one with decent parts and some artwork I won’t regret. Yours is looking good!

Thanks dude! Yeah The SE is smaller and lighter. I like it much more then the TE size wise. I might try and mod my sticks to work on the ps3 also.

I don’t want to revive the SF4 thread, but you play Sakura so I was going to drop the

on my first stick i used "rust-o-luim" and now im trying "krylon" Not sure if i like the krylon but i guess we shall see which one out performs the other in the long run. The design on my previous stick has almost completely rubbed off in certain spots ... so i will have to go in eventually and remove the whole thing and put a new design in. (this time ill try and put a protective cover over it)
